Recap: Tampa Bay vs. NY Yankees

St. Petersburg, FL (Sports Network) - Joba Chamberlain turned in another strong outing and the Yankees battered the Rays, 6-2, in the rubber match of a three-game set from Tropicana Field.

Chamberlain (7-2) won his third straight start as he gave up just three hits with five strikeouts and two walks over a career high-tying eight innings. He has allowed just two runs, eight hits and eight walks over the three wins, spanning 21 2/3 innings. He also moved to 4-0 over his last seven starts.

"It's one of 'em," Chamberlain said when asked if this was his best start. "I continue to get better and be aggressive. They've got a great lineup and can beat you in a lot of ways. We got on the board early, which is comforting to me."

Mark Teixeira went 2-for-3 with a homer and drove in two runs for the Yankees, who have just two losses in 13 games since the All-Star break. Melky Cabrera and Robinson Cano both had solo homers in the triumph. Jorge Posada also drove in a run.

Evan Longoria had a two-run homer for the Rays, who have lost three of four to fall 7 1/2 games behind the Yankees in the AL East. Jason Bartlett and Carl Crawford had two hits apiece in the setback.

Matt Garza (7-8) took the loss after giving up three runs on eight hits over seven frames. He also fanned five and walked three.

"They have a lot of weaknesses, they have a lot of strengths, too," said Garza. "You just gotta keep grinding it out. They've been hot, and hot teams turn cold and cold teams turn hot. We'll see how it turns out [at the end of the season]."

Cano's two-out solo shot in the sixth made it 3-0.

Hideki Matsui had a leadoff single in the eighth off Brian Shouse, and advanced to second as Bartlett's throw traveled into the dugout. Cody Ransom replaced him on the bases and scored as Posada followed with a single, which made it a 4-0 game.

Cabrera and Teixeira launched solo shots Dan Wheeler in the ninth to make it 6-0. However, Crawford had a leadoff triple off Brian Bruney in the home portion and Longoria followed with a bomb to left field that accounted for the final margin.

The Yankees got on the board in the first inning as Derek Jeter led the game off with a triple and scored two batters later as Teixeira singled to right field.

The visitors tacked on another run in the fourth frame. It was second and third with no outs as Alex Rodriguez had a leadoff single and Matsui followed with a double to left field. Posada then popped up but Cano drove in a run as he grounded out, which made it 2-0.
